I have questions about the atheist point of view. The main point is that there is no god. But what I often read is their anger at religion and churches. ' There can be no peace until the last church is destroyed.' So would that prove that there is no god?
The 'fact' that I am working around is that there are some 60 million gods among the cultures of the world. So must the trappings of all of them be eliminated to prove there is no god?
So who was the first god? Didn't there have to be a first one some where back in time....and then another one and another one. Where did this urge to worship a higher power come from?
Having a god to worship does not make you a better person. In fact putting yourself out there as a person who can help you communicate with a god is really the worst kind of deceiver.
So are these the people that atheists want taken out? That is the end game is it not? If nothing else 60,000,000 gods should tell you this is a pretty widespread aspect of human nature and I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say it is pretty much hopeless to convince anybody but a minor minority that there are no gods. not a single one....

The most well known attempt to go down this road was the rule of communism in Russia. One of their main thrusts was to educate the people that there was no such thing as god. They murdered 60 million people who disagreed with them. It does become the only solution if you insist on enforcing a fundamental belief make over. And how did that work out in the end....I do believe that the human desire to worship a higher power won out.
I do not pretend to know how to explain god. I consider myself a rational human being who believes that at the end of the day there is one God, our Creator and that the Bible provides the operators manual for understanding who human beings are and how we fit into the scheme of things. Its obviously a complex book as people have been trying to fiure it out for nearly 2000 years and there's no end in sight that that I can see.
When I look up at a starry night I know with certainty that we are a microscopic speck in a bigger scheme. So for me it calls into question the issue of who is a human? And that is a whole other question. My biggest difficulty with it being able to rationalize the theory that we came out of the slime.
As human beings we are free to choose what we believe. When we look at the billions of us on the planet, that freedom is pretty obvious. We've gone every which way but loose....as the Clint Eastwood movie said.
But at the end of the day isn't there just one right answer, one truth? At this time in human history it just seems to be that the concept of no god is one of the weakest possibilities if you look at how humans in great percentage seem to lean toward the connection to a higher power.
The humans who use god, and religions as vehicles to do many, many bad things are bad humans. So anger against them is justified. Atheists would have a lot more friends if they stated that is how their anger is directed at. But it looks and smells like atheism is a veiled political attack on the concept of god and somehow points its bony finger at Christianity more than other religions and their gods.
Us humans are such an imperfect lot. All I know for sure is that when I try to live a life based on some basic rules laid out by fellow named Jesus it is the most complete form of living on this planet that I've found.
An atheist needs to tell me what set of rules he/she lives by...if its anarchy when you hold it under a bright light then I can't buy it.
